I was recently hanging out at a friend’s, and he showed me the video of a game by Will Wright (of The Sims fame) called Spore. The video was actually Wright’s presentation at the Annual Game Development […]

I don’t claim to be an expert, or even an intermediate in the vast field of graphic programming, but here are a few cool optimizations/replacements that I have been using for common math functions. This list is […]

Let us apply the maxims of Libertarianism to our routine working week. Analyse if anywhere we violate basic principles of this school of philosophy, and hence part-verify if the claim stating Libertarianism being inherently and naturally part of our lives, hence it being the perfect system for the society.
The Fundamental maxim of Libertarianism is of […]

I planned to write a post about how I almost drowned in the deep end yesterday, but then thought it something too trivial and stupid to post, but then decided that since this was sorta like a personal blog, and since I didn’t care if people read […]

Yeah, today was my first swimming lesson, and by the end of the one hour session, I was lazily floating across the pool like a corpse, humming Feuer Frei! by Rammstein and re-playing VH1-MTV’s Midnight Headbanger’s Ball in my head. That’s the only neat thing […]

Before anything, I must complain about the names that our airlines have been taking.. we started out with Indian Airlines and Air India. Now we […]

Okay I have a problem keeping my mouth shut. Succeed most of the time, but often fail causing some rather stupid pain-in-the-necks.
This post is inspired by yet another blabbering-mouth thing, this time in frustration at what I like to call soft-spam. Hard-spam is like that unsolicited XXX kind of messages or “Buy This!” type things […]

Well, I’m not a believer in finding a moral reason for things, there are always logical reasons for things. Peace too has a logical reason. Early cave-men depended on violence to survive, even in their own communities. But it made logical sense not to kill people who would trade with you, nor did it make […]

Among things I despise the most in the world are men without spines and men who ramble too much. So much that their words hold little or no value at all. Often these characteristics are found festering in the same individual. The latter bear no respect for dignified silence to think, and have mostly nothing […]

Incidentally, it so happens that it is (or was) my birthday. As I write this post, its 2:22 AM, so technically it *was* my birthday yesterday. Anyhow, I finally came about setting up my own website, and my own wordpress blog hosted on this free domain that seems good. I hated ASP hosting services anyway, […]
